MOTUC Snout Spout Discussion thread.

I hate the guy. I don't know why, maybe it's the sad look on his elephant mask. (I'd had that look too If I had to wear that mask in public)
Sure the staction made Snout Spout LOOK cool, but since This is MOTUC, more vintage features might appear on the sad Eternian Firefighter...

We know that there will be no Action Features so no squirting water.
What could the 4H do with him? (IF we even get to him.)
I can see them using the Standard male body(maybe Hordak's lower ab piece) He-Ro's loinclothHopefully Using Trap Jaw/Kronis arms and legs and new gloves and feet similar to the staction.
A head with poseable trunk (Hopefully more like the staction)
His Axe and a clip on attachment for his trunk to simulate a stream of water.

So let's talk about Snout Spout!! Show your love/hate/indifference towards the guy...

FINALLY!! GLIMMER IS IN MY SHELF!! Crita is coming... Now I NEED SONGSTER! The Awesometastic Bard!

They should definitely go classic look--just update where necessary. I don't like that 200x look at all. Too angry. Just make it look more like the card back art. I always wanted Snout Spout when I was a kid. Hope to see him soon.

I'm not sure why, but I liked this figure! At least, I have fond memories of him. The water shooting toys were always kinda fun. Anyway, I'd like a mix of 200X and classic, if they get to him (well, save for the axe. That better be all 200X). Personally, though, I'd want him to shoot water but, since I know they won't allow that, it would be cool to get an articulated trunk and a clear water blast to attach to the end.

Yeah, that vintage axe is kind of the pitts. I could see a little 200x influence, but I definitely want him to be vintage-looking.

I think I'll register my indifference. He's a hero character that I believe if I was still buying MOTU when he was released that I wouldn't buy him. Although I think Squid would love to get him. For me, more target practice for the Evil Warriors.

But how can the Evil Warriors target him when they're all wet? Eh? Yeah. Take THAT, Evil Warriors!

Ooh. He just sprayed a skull-faced megalomaniac with a trickle of water, with that oh so dangerous liquid called water. It might give Skeletor a cold given a sudden drop in temperature and if the villains wore any sort of clothes that could get wet. Heck, Snout Spout couldn't make wearing boots uncomfortable since Skeletor doesn't wear them (or socks for that matter). I see alot of KP and latrine duties for Snout Spout on Eternia.

Crap! I was gona fall back on the "making boots uncomfortable" thing, but you're right! It won't work! RUN! The....the water didn't work at ALL!

My guess is that he'll look vintage, with the friendly eyes, but with a little more tech-details (like MAA's armor), and the 200x weapon.

Where are you going, Alexx? I got some more barnyard analogies for you. Don't go away. Now nobody is going to talk to me.

Well, of course just about everything is dangerous when shot at a range of 12 inches. I hope that Skeletor is wise enough to Snout Spout's "special" powers to stay well out of range (say 40-50 ft?) Besides, I fear Stanley Spadowski's mastery of water more than Snout Spout (although their names sure are awfully similar...weird).

Aw, it's alright buddy! I won't go nowhere. Here, how about this: Since Snout Spout is gona be on latrine duty, he'll fend off the Evil Warriors by drenching them with outhouse juice! I won't explain further, but the only one who could stop him would be Stinkor!

I seriously doubt that because he would actually have to have that "outhouse juice" in his mouth and unless enjoys that kind of "play" then I would think he would be puking his guts out on the first try. But even with water all Skeletor would have to do is send Mer-Man first. He'd love it!

That's assuming he keeps all the water in his mouth! The whole elephant head setup is probably some sorta machine; latrine juice could easily be contained! Then Mer-Man is gona have to deal with stank water!

Now that is dangerous.

True, a water jet cutter is dangerous but it is also a machine. We are talking about a biological. I was giving Snout Spout the benefit of the doubt by equating him with a firehose but now that I think of him as a living creature (more specifically an elephant) I highly doubt he can reach the psi of a water-jet cutter or a firehose. I think he has the same "reach" and "power" of an elephant when they are given themselves baths. That's how I see the extent of his water-spraying capabilities.
